If the initial acts announced for MTT Fest 2013 weren’t enough to convince that there would be no sophomore slump for the fledgling psych rock event, the second batch should cement things.

Added to the lineup for the local event which runs April 11-13 at various locations around town are alt music icons including: Norman Blake, a founding member of Scottish pop geniuses Teenage Fanclub; Martin Rev, who is one-half of the legendary and influential American synth punk duo Suicide; Alex Bleeker + The Freaks, which is a side-project of New Jersey rock act Real Estate; U.K. musician Sterling Roswell (a.k.a. Rosco), who was part of pioneering ’80s psych band Spacemen 3; Angela Faye Martin, known for her work with late Sparklehorse brain Mark Linkous; U.S. electro darling Holly Herndon; and fave of the inaugural MTT Fest Cheval Sombre.

These acts join previously announced artists such as Rain Parade, Shout Out Out Out Out, Fuxa, Malcolm Mooney and the 10th Planet, The Telescopes, Peter Daltrey and Faux Fur, as well as guest curators Joe Foster, who is one of the founder’s of Creation Records, and Nelson Bragg, who’s worked closely with Brian Wilson.
